Morning Talk with my Mynah "Kaleo"

Kaleo was rescued around 3 days old and has learned to say many different things and sometimes in different ways..

[@SpoonGoonKay]

Poor bird is going through an identity crisis.

[@fearanger1]

I still can't believe the Mynahs are capable of mimicing speech. The same thing that's constantly screeching outside my window!

[@newecreator]

"I'm a little duck. Quack quack quack."

[@Netsaver]

I quite like how his body puff's up when he laughs and does certain lines.

[@jewgirl952]

We had a myna bird once. They are excellent talkers. Ours would ring just like the phone and then answer like my mother.

[@UrsaMaul]

He's gunna grow up with identity issues...

[@xXkakuayaXx]

The owner and the bird are both so cute, the bird talks all innocently and the owner has such one of the kindest, loving voices i have ever heard ^__^

[@SquashedBananaPie]

I had no idea those cheeky buggers in my back yard can talk.

[@nlo114]

Wonderful birds. When I was a kid, I was an errand-boy for a vegetable truck. I had free entry to every house on my round, one of them had a mynah. It startled me at first when I went into one house and heard: "Andrew, Andrew! Breakfast, come on you'll be late for school!" I am now 60, but the bird's voice was a spit-copy of the kid's mother. I'll never forget those days.

[@javinbond8714]

LMAO! I love it when he emulates the laugh.

[@PillDex]

Definitely not a fake. We have exactly the same type of bird known as an Indian Minah here in South Africa. I hand reared one that had fallen out of a nest and he lived for 15 years. Was an incredible talker. Very intelligent birds!

[@CJCroen1393]

Mynahs are such brainy birds!

[@tf2whackyengineer]

Your bird knows more about Chickens than the Bluth family.

[@ptl44]

I always thought that only birds in the parrot family could talk.

[@nerdomaniac]

"I'm a little duck" - evil talking bird.

[@DunateoRom8v37]

Thats amazing. But these birds are displacing our native birds in South Africa. They are considered as pests and dealt with. At least this little fella will be safe.

[@BrotherTree1]

Wow, he can quack better than an actual duck :O

[@OK2BCK]

I have pigeons they won't say shit

[@kshitisharma5686]

Little bird. Massive personality. 🐤🐥🐦💕

[@1hellocat]

i can't stop watching these videos! SOOOO adorable! I want one so bad!! lol

[@stevenwickes7156]

Eventually would drive you crazy lol

[@nessar5104]

I haven't seen a mynah bird in a long time, but I knew they were great talkers. This one is adorable. :)

[@13ishmaverick]

This bird is so cute and lovely :)

[@wasabiperson2616]

Oh my gosh, he is just the cutest little baby, aaaw. I love birds so much, I can't get over this little sweetheart.

[@t1joel]

What a beautiful bird! He speaks very well, too! Such an awesome relationship between this woman and her bird friend.

[@ferrethome]

Sweet little mynah bird. Talks so well!

[@A.L.Davis4]

I love this bird's voice, and the way it moves, everything about it is so intriguing to me.

[@CeeBee781]

This is incredible. I've never, ever seen anything like this in my life.

[@annecollier2455]

what a dear little bird, he is so clever, and you sound a nice caring lady.

[@TravelDude]

At 1:25 he shows off his plume. So cute.

[@tiffanynicole8615]

I can't get over how smart he is. So cute :)

[@blitz-o-byte]

0:52 Im a little duck quackquackquackquack

[@VentricDual]

I love watching parrot talking videos but half the time I can't understand them. This is the clearest speech I have ever heard from a bird! Amazing!

[@littlebluedaewoo]

Goodness, what a talented bird and what a great job you have done in teaching it. Adorable :)

[@MegaVijayaraghavan]

nice bird

[@MelissaGemini]

a bird doing a bird limitations priceless.

[@MissBophaLokei]

woman, you're a great owner. i love how kind and patient you talk to the mynah!

[@marcevania100]

oh my God... what a little beautiful... wonderful!!!

[@nathan3780]

My aunt rescued a Mynah bird from under her porch. It liked to mimic her son to get attention. It would say mommy, and so she would come because she thought it was him. Funny.

[@shilohhuntsberry6778]

That bird is so smart and adorablee. I love that bird so much he always makes me laugh where I can barely breath.

[@indisag]

Once a Mynah was badly enjurd, I took him to the Zoological Hospital. But there a mad doctor told me that why have you brought it? This is a very ordinary bird. But today I came to realize that no living being is ordinary.

[@MishelleyLane]

I would love to see more of these, I never get tired of watching this precious bird with his wonderful owner! Please give us more :)

[@Mugziezbigmouth]

You have the coolest bird! He is just amazing! Please keep sharing videos of him!

[@JamieBarrington]

So adorable! My favorite is when Kaleo says "you're so cute!" Love it!

[@lovemybirds]

"Whatcha Tink?" I think he's so cute... and so bright!!! He makes my African Grey look simple...lol Well done, he's obviously well loved and well cared for to have learned as much as he has. Bravo!!!

[@jamesdeal8884]

I'm a Turkey Talker ! Just love this !

[@dmsdana4501]

"I love you, my little friend." Annnnd....waterworks.

[@harryschlonge5762]

It's crazy how they can literally mock a full vocal on any person and sound like the owner. I always wanted to see this in person.

[@lisashadows7681]

they classify this bird as a pest in Australia. so sad.

[@Corax404]

This is cute and everything, but can you imagine how terrifying it would be to hear this in the middle of the night? Especially the laughter. To be fair, I'm sure this bird would scare the hell out of you, and then immediately imitate a chicken just to mock you.

[@richardquinones2959]

OMG this is so hilarious but it goes to show how smart birds are😄👍👍

[@fakey4793]

I like how he puffs up every time he talks

[@YY4Me133]

I love that she/he laughs at her/his own jokes. What a cutie.

[@robinminkler]

Awesome!!! I couldn't tell where her speech ended and Kaleo's started!

[@queenkoi]

Wow what a beautiful creature. I had never heard of them, thanks for sharing =). I am happy for the little bird that it got to be with such a great human.

[@emmawilliams8253]

What a cute little fella 😄

[@domingosmundo4138]

most people are to young to remember these amazing little birds' i remember back in the 1970's there was one in the bait shop in clarksville tenn and it was very vocal ' it was amazing how much its vocabulary was, alot of people went in there and so it learned alot'

[@janedarc1471]

Cute little bird.

[@nathanrogers4144]

the birds clever but im pretty sure the woman is crazier than a bag of cats

[@bone101ify]

TOOO FLIPPIN CUTE!! ALOHA NUI LOA KALEO!!!

[@DanHomeAtLast]

what a cutie! we have these in Sydney at times on migration in large numbers and some stay around all year, they're not aggressive at all and are very resourceful. What i do notice is they have very sophisticated set of communication skills and voices they use between themselves​, they are also very very good at mimics of car alarms mobile phones etc... quite an interesting bird.

[@meloearth]

I'm impressed at how smart he is.

[@mukeshpandya4171]

I laughed my ass off.. frankly here in melb so many have complained them to be a pest from India but we know they are smartest bird than Crows but i havent seen anyone ever training him, you trained him so well... proves every animals/ bird have brain emotion and feelings just like us.

[@JackAStibium]

What an incredible being! So graceful and intelligent.

[@minhal_lhr]

awww ... he is so precious ... i love him ... hugs and kisses little birdie.

[@lizallcote7808]

Haha haha, your so cute, I love you my little duck xxx❤xxx

[@rockybudgeboa]

What a great little bundle of energy. I LOVE KALEO

[@rosewaters2533]

Omg! I've never heard mynahs talk before! He's so clever! 😍

[@majesticbadass1038]

I was looking threw the comments looking for someone to say something like "this is fake" I was about to say dude im a licensed scientist, it's not fake.

[@al01100]

great bird! love him the best way you can...you`ll feel an emptiness that can`t be filled when he`s gone.

[@jenna.s1256]

Beautiful amazing bird. Love Love Love :)

[@ashleyervin602]

I LOVE how he tells himself that he is cute

[@andreacurrie4245]

you have a soothing voice ma'am! I'd love to have stories read by you, very relaxing!

[@patriciacallahan8327]

I thought this was adorable! It made me smile.

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

wow he's just such a star! I love this bird.

[@rustypanels1917]

That is sooo cute, talks very clear.

[@leilasmama01]

Very Cute!!

[@DegixHorse]

This video just made me smile all the time, I feel so happy! :D

[@ShyClementine]

He is so cute and expressive! What a smart little bird.

[@creation9449]

i have also a mynah...it call me ( ma) ..my mynah sounds like it....really funny and adorable pet

[@ceilao1]

what can I say, but that I'm soo in love with you, Little Kaleo! Your Mum just brings out all your talents and the love you have for her is enviable-keep it up, sweet little Kaleo XXXOOO

[@ryancooper42lp]

My son and I watch these videos staring Kaleo over and over. We are obsessed!

[@locomojoboy2]

Reminds me of the looney toons character that would always say "I'm a Chicken-Hawk."

[@jonathanpagancruz9217]

id hear a very long story and fall asleep with this ladys voice

[@justme-yu2pz]

how adorable. so funny when he says 'you're so funny' and laughs! awesome!

[@discoverydavid]

I lived out in the wilderness of Thailand myna birds everywhere...as common as crows in Europe. They always seemed to be in pairs, very attentive towards each other and very curious to humans. You see the intelligence in their eyes, they reminded of little dinosaurs (raptures). Love em!

[@gottlicherhammer]

Smart bird. Teach it to remind you to hold the camera in landscape orientation.

[@dbm-yv1gl]

Holy shit! It can talk better than other birds I have heard! OMG I cannot imagine a normal mynah bird i saw outside could talk like this!

[@Khrisstyan86]

But...what the fox say?

[@richardbates6311]

The best part starts at 1:38 and last a few seconds, when he says "what'cha doing little duck, quack quack quack, I'm a chicken". I play that every day now. I see a new ringtone coming :)

[@gabby20]

I totally agree with you. Thank you for loving myner birds and I hope you have lots of fun with your 2 new mynerbirds

[@Cheere]

Birds are smart, easy to learn

[@MariselaFrancoo]

"I'm a turkey talker"

[@SilverWingFenrirWolf]

What an adrable little fluffy faced cutie! He's precious♥

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

Minas, parrots, starlings, crows, ravens can all talk! They should have a talking dinosaur in Jurassic World 2, since birds and dinosaurs are so closely related.

[@MegaTUHAU]

in singapore you can see them all the foodcourts..

[@kellygervais3440]

what a beautiful bird...

[@christiancadigal4180]

Hahaha! Very smart. It laugh too. Well mynah are well-known talker. Smart bird.

[@adamnottelling1686]

Although I've little experience with talking birds, imitating the breathing of one's owner seems to be a trait unique to the Myna.

[@TCPUDPATM]

I grew up around these birds - never knew they could talk!

[@Hornadayfan]

Thanks for the reply. I used to live in Waianae on Oahu and never saw a Mynah on that side of the island.
